Racing with my Dad for the first time ever! | BTRDA Rallycross at Lydden Hill
For the last few years I've raced part time in rallycross, however in 2024 Dad decided to build a car of his own and we're going racing together for the first time. It's time to race at our home circuit of Lydden Hill to see which Brooks is faster!

My mate convinced me to buy an old BMW 840Ci E31... So what's it like? | Feat. James Whitham
Просмотров 2 тыс.6 месяцев назад
About a year ago I was chatting to a mate of mine, James Whitham, at Cadwell Park and he convinced me spending some money on a 1997 BMW 840Ci E31 coupe was a good idea. So I did - but what's it like some 27 years after it was built and does it still stand the test of time today? #bmw #e31 #840ci Facebook: tombrooksmedia Twitter: TomBrooksComms Instagram: t...
I bought the cheapest and rarest Golf GTI Mk2 I could find - how broken is it?
Просмотров 7 тыс.7 месяцев назад
Trying to find a big bumper Mk2 Golf GTI in Calypso Blue is a bit of a mission, but amazingly I managed to source one and it was a bargain... however it does need a lot of work doing to it to make it a show winner again. So, join myself and Big Neil as we set about restoring a classic over the coming months! #volkswagen #golfgti #carrestoration Facebook: tombrooksmedia Twitter: twi...

A few months ago I bought a 2016 Porsche Cayman 981 GT4 and wanted to take it on track to find out its potential So when Jimmy 'Earl of Sheddington' Broadbent invited me to Brands Hatch as he tested his Toyota Supra, I jumped at the opportunity. #porsche #caymangt4 #trackday Facebook: tombrooksmedia Twitter: TomBrooksComms Instagram: tombrookscomms Website...
My first weekend racing my new car didn't go well... | BTRDA Rallycross at Knockhill

If you caught the Project Race Car series this year, you'll have seen us take a road going Ford Fiesta and convert it to a production-spec rallycross car, however due to work commitments I wasn't able to compete in our scheduled first event at Lydden Hill. However, fast forward a few months and I'm back in the driving seat to make my debut in the Fiesta. #racecar #carbuild #motorsport I hope yo...

Is there such a thing as a cheap Audi R8? | Head-to-head with @Tiametmarduk at @REPerformanceUK!
Просмотров 17 тыс.11 месяцев назад
Earlier this year, I bought a 'cheap' Gen 1 Audi R8 and it's been an... interesting experience so far. So I phoned up my mate, Ben Daly, and we brought both of R8's down to Ricky at REPerformance to see how different two seemingly identical cars are. #audir8 #reperformance #automotive I hope you enjoy this video.

I bought a Triumph Street Triple 765 Moto2 Edition. Is it worth the hype?

Late last year, Triumph announced the Street Triple 765 Moto2 Edition, a bike limited to just 765 units of each of the two colours available. Naturally I jumped at the opportunity to own one, so join me as I ride my current 765RS to the dealership and pick up my new bike, then give you my first impressions of it. #triumph #moto2 #streettriple I hope you enjoy this video.

I bought a track bike for £1500 and got a BRITISH SUPERBIKE RIDER to thrash it!
Просмотров 800Год назад
I've always wondered if you need to spend obscene amounts of money to get out on track on a motorbike. So when the opportunity came up to buy a 2004 Suzuki GSX-R 750 for less than £1500, I snapped up the opportunity and decided to bring it to Lydden Hill and get ex-BSB racer and current Endurance World Championship rider, Tom Ward, to give it a thrashing.

I bought a cheap broken Porsche BLIND on Facebook... How bad is it?

As you probably know by now, when cheap cars come up for sale I find it difficult to walk away from them, so when this 2004 Porsche Boxster 3.2 S was advertised on Facebook Marketplace recently, naturally I decided to buy it. There's just one issue... It's broken. So, join myself and Big Neil as we collect and inspect the car before fixing it in the next episode. #porsche #porscheboxster #carre...

Your sound test failed big time. I hope it was because it wasn't completely finished. 06:58
I love the livery the cars had with the blue and white and black, they look great. And the video itself was great too, great job Tom
Picked up an oak green with an abf swap bk in March 😍
Absolutely stunning bike. Triumph make the most beautiful machines.
Did you buy it from a Mohammed?
MK2 GTI's are the best!
2.4 tonne?
Is this an c7 or c8 ?
I just modded the buttons. 3d print. I may make review video soon
Why would you take off the rear bumper. Have an S and getting trans out was a breeze and left the rear bumper installed. Just curious.
This wheel I always press the wrong button. I have three other wheels and not an issue. No stickers for the buttons in the box, very expensive considering this wheel is a consumable and wears out fast.
I hate the buttons on this wheel. Also the Dpad is terrible. It is super over priced. simpush make amazing rally wheel mods for thrustmaster wheel. Better and way cheaper
Dream bike 😍😍
How the F a 3.0L 364HP car can be boring ?
The twin lights came on the 16v, 8v were single
I had 2 8v's and they both had twin lights!
@@jamesarculus9657 expensive optional extra from factory, 16v came standard with them
@@jamesarculus9657 or someone installed them before you bought them
@@jamesarculus9657same here! My 89 8v has twins from factory. I’m yet to see a stock mk2 GTI without twin lights.
Absolutely love the 840ci
Tom I'm stuck between a few cars. i30N DCT, M140i or new shape 2 series 230i
I got an 840ci last year, im 50 years old, so this was a dream car when they came out in the 90s. This car has been nothing but a pleasure to drive and own.....never get rid of it !!!
I love the old stool BMW'S I was looking for a E24 635csi but I'm steering towards the E31. I just wanted to ask... Is it worth buying one??
@@alecduguid7270 So far so good, I wanted an 850ci, the V12....buy after being talked out of it I went with the 840 the V8. The V12 is great when tuned and in good working order... the V8 is a bit more reliable and was used on several other cars.. .. Buy the BEST E31 in your budget , don't be in a rush, you don't want a project car E31.... Happy hunting 👍🏼
@@thedroptop6074 Thanks for getting back to me, much appreciated. One more question, shall I go for the 4.0 or 4.4 840ci ?
@@alecduguid7270 4.4 all the way ! The best V8 made. They were late 1995 to the end of the production run.. Mine is a 1997, last year available in the USA. In Europe the last year was 1999.
@@thedroptop6074 Thanks for all of the advice and I appreciate you taking the time to reply.
Why does one feel that a father-son relationship is being put to the test here?
Over £20,000 for something that looks like a 2014 1.6 3 series SE. I’d rather get something that will age better tbh
Hi can yoh help me will mk1 carberator fit and work on mk2
Sorta scares me when I want to buy one.
Title should be, two blokes dont maintain their R8s and get shocked by big bill
🎯💯🎯
Drivers seat should have height adjustment
I want to buy a used Porsche 718 Gt4. My wife wants an Audi R8. I've been stalling because I'm worried about huge maintenance costs and don't know a lot about either of these brands, but I would like to get her an R8 because it seems that's the only way I'm going to get a sports car. She's shooting down my Porsche dreams.
R8 gets my vote. Lambo on a budget.
Just found this-cannot believe it! we were only talking about her old car yesterday-my wife’s old Golf GTI-we bought it from MS Autos Biddenden,Kent many years ago,used to have the original wheels-so no idea why they were changed!
When the next video on this?
Aiming to film early next month once paint is finished and we can begin work on the mechanical side of it.
@@TomBrooksMedia looking forward to it!
Great video and banter. Big bills , but i still want one!
Like anything if you buy a well maintained and serviced car it wouldn’t end up like these. Dude with the paint ball hat cant even drive in a straight line onto the hoist let alone maintain a car so what do you expect.
"In a car that weighs 2.4 tonnes" 😂😂 thats really heavy!
8v GTi's suck, 20v Turbo swap it.
rate the hannspree honda livery my go to
Is there no button to turn off start stop then?
Welcome to the club mate! Sounds like you’ve some leaky injectors there amongst other things :D Be sweet when running right though
Would love to know which problems you solved on yours and how you prioritised them? Great in depth video
Great little vid!
Someones a fan of sumerian lore lol
What’s wrong with u? Your father spoiled you so much as a child that you couldn’t be content on your beautiful bike that u go out and get the same bike ?
Good luck with the project Tom! Hope there are no rusty horrors hiding below the bodykit!
Great "0" face .... lol. Woof.
I nearly bought this car, I recognise it from ebay. Glad I didn't now. The wheels look correct bbs ra to me although painted black. 15" is the correct size for a gti if that's any help
…and I thought these German ones are reliable Supercars?! 😮
Bought mine 4 years ago now. And loved it.
Overreving is an understatement!! You killed it man😢
Ventilation sucks
How you finding the bike now,? Still happy with it?
That's why ppl just lease European cars. Not worth keeping long term
And people don't buy American cars, because they're not worth owning in the first place 🤷
Any repair done will cost you in the thousands 😮
Owned a few gti mk2 and 4s ..Pas makes a mk2 far worse to drive ..much better off without it . I would consider a 1.8T swap
Howdy, the way to fix reverse/first gear issue is to pop the gearshift boot and inspect the reverse lockout plate thats made out of plastic and prolly fell apart, you can change it by drilling two rivets and slapping new one, if that didnt fix it, there is a nut and bolt you can crack near the gearbox allowing you to adjust linkage
